actually i might just end up buying a china hid and test as i really don't wanna spend almost a thousand like brother koh just to swap it with someone else due to JPJ

Oh ya, what if i get 3000k HID, JPJ won't catch right ?

mine's 1st gen. Hhmm...maybe i will take your advice on using the Hella lamps instead. Thanks

i think all sixer driver also feel tat the headlight output is not enough for them. even now i using Philips Xtreme also feeling poor. mayb will install a relay kit on it to boost more power on the bulb.

sumtime u c those JPJ get roadblock. they will tahan those Estima, Merz, BMW, Alphard & etc. dunno wat is the main purpose. but i think it should b the HID kacau gua.

your previous HID sold already? Philips Xtreme already very short lifespan (half of normal bulbs) if you boost it will be shorter still (if you use daily maybe need to change every 4 - 6 months)

this coming 1st Nov I would have used my retrofitted HID for 1 yr already. Almost everyday use (morning to work before sun comes out and night go home after sun goes down) except Sunday. So far got stopped once by police patrol car and once by JPJ roadblock but never got saman cos they were unable to determine if i was using HID. They stared at my headlamps for a few times then just asked me to show my driver's license. Then they asked me to go.

not trying to say HID is legal or difficult to catch but just sharing my experience (maybe i'm lucky so far) and I must say that driving with proper HID is really pleasant and useful when you are travelling at 120 kph in total darkness on a highway.

i heard bendix kuat makan the brake disc so i was skeptical to use.

the spare part shop recommended me Trestor Advantage. This is the one i'm using now which solved the high speed vibration when braking.

i asked about the relay kit at the acc shop n the tauke said,perdana using a plastic cover .if add relay, the headlamp may got kesan terbakar..i dont know how to explain..is't true ??  what's the cause of water like embun in our headlight  ? 
n one more thing..i just called POWERZONE..they quote the price for extractor rm900 + piping bullet Rm550 ..muffler maintain..any comment??

i got it from the famous sparepart shop in Sea Park. RM80

i've personally used and gone through 2 sets of Osram NB. Slightly better than stock but lifetime very short (geram la need to change every 9 months) and when 1 of the bulbs kaput then visibilty lagi teruk especially when it kaputs beginning/middle of the week and you have to wait till weekend baru dapat beli replacement, so make sure you have a spare bulb all the time.

if you read through this entire thread you will find a post on my journey towards HID retrofit... 

yes bro. i have sold my HID to another Perdana fellow . now running on normal halogen bulb. coz been few times kena minum kopi .

did anybody encounter the PV6 rear brake not so grip? i feeling the car was pushing toward when i brake til hardest. even in 2pot now also feel like rear brake r making me throwing out.

those Estimas, Mercs, Bimmers are speeding la.
i dont think JPJ tahan them for the factory installed Xenon.

my brakes very the kuat. haha.
even after inspection at Puspakom, the fella puji my brakes as very kuat. huhu safety safety.
but my rear are also ventilated (from Galant).

maybe your rear brake pads are not good?
or the brake pressure from servo are low?

Osram NB short lifespan?
my Osram CoolBlue is already 2years old.
maybe coz not so bright as NB?


install the HID in your fog lamp, not the headlamp.

yeap, only Osram NB and Philips Xtreme have shorter lifespan due to their increased light output. In fact, on the NB cover, it is stated clearly that the lifespan is about 50% of normal bulbs.
bro, install HID on foglamp is not a good solution. It will cause similar or worse effect as I mentioned on my previous post. In fact, if you notice, no car manufacturers put HIDs on fogs as OEM or factory option.

Any idea why the auto gearbox spoils easily after few years for this beast?

i have changed the brake servo (Eterna). also installed a new pair of brake pad on it few months back.

how much u brought ur rear disc?

i'm thinking of getting a new set of wheels for him...i'd like to keep it comfortable so i'm keeping it at 16 inches...any ideas what sort of wheels suit this "beast"? he's metallic black in color...

Mine's also still 16" as i travel alot and don't wanna be in a situation of getting my tires burst or rims crooked. Although i'm thinking of lowering the car using Eibach springs. Any advice ? Don't really wanna use adjustable s as i think the ride would be too bumpy

any1 used for the 90/100w headlamp bulb?

naik satu tingkat la.
go for 17" 

haha. already getting old are we?... 

Hi guys, wanna know hw much if change to new/recon auto gb for v6 2000? and if add atf cooler will bw hw much? thanks
